4th Of July Pt. 3

Gene Carr was one of the most active newspaper cartoonists of the early 1900's. He was working for William Randolph Hearst by the age of 17, was a pioneer in the use of sequential panels, and debuted the first female newspaper cartoon protagonist, Lady Bountiful, in 1902.

A few of his delighfully demented, albeit slightly disturbed, 4th Of July postcards.

Give me liberty, or give me fashion death.

4th Of July Pt. 1

Billy Boloney apparently spent his offscreen time impregnating sexy lady firecrackers.


Too bad their illegitimate offspring inherited his looks.

Menage A Mutant

Friends of mine (in a mock-to-mime post L Word move) tried this once drunk at Tattooed Mom's; it was slightly less complicated, but there were a helluva' lot more Wolverines...

Someone - obviously not hampered by too many colored lines himself (and yes, I am quite confident that it was a "he") took the time to chronicle the last forty years of The X-Men's sexual shenanigans.

I don't know what's sadder: that I got totally sucked in by this, or Caliban's chance of ever getting a blowjob.

This trailer is too insane for words to explain, but if Death By Fantail Shrimp is on the menu, I'm there!

Cape Town Chickens Sing This Song

Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

These 13 x 9 inch recycled fair trade plastic bag chickens and roosters are handcrafted by disadvantaged crafters in the townships near Cape Town, South Africa.

A Clown Car, Conversely: Sylvia

I have thirty days to whittle down twenty years worth of weekly thrifting - spread over four rooms and a hall - to Polly Pockets sized proportions (for my new attic room adventures in Red Brick Alley).

Sometimes, casting a beloved bit of knick a knackery into the Sidewalk Sale box feels a bit like drowning a kitten in slow mo, but my Stuffmonster can also be as suffocating as a drowsy Crystal Gayle's hair in a whirlpool sauna, so...

Sylvia, despite being a bit faded & timeworn (I gave her a bit of pinch and powder below), will most definitely be making the block and a half long voyage to her new home.

Telefrenchies!

Barbapapas!

Along Came A Spider...

The star of my a Little Miss Muffet design in progress (she'll be lying faint on her back beside it, with her legs up in the air scissor-style).

C.H.U.D., Tokyo Style

This is what the sewage system of Japan looks like.




"American urban planning" just became a punchline...
